In a surprising turn of events, technology entrepreneur Elon Musk has openly admitted to boosting his Path of Exile 2 account. This revelation came to light in a recently shared video, putting an end to the speculation surrounding his gaming practices. Fans of Path of Exile 2 have been eagerly discussing the implications of such tactics, and Musk’s candid acknowledgment has certainly stirred the pot within the community.
The topic of the Tesla and Twitter/X CEO’s skills in Path of Exile 2 came into question after he was removed from the game last December. Musk asserted that his ejection was due to an excessive number of actions taken in a brief period, which inadvertently activated the game’s anti-cheat mechanisms. He shared a screenshot on X to support his claim of not utilizing any macros, which sparked a mix of admiration and doubt among the gaming community.
In a recent video, YouTuber NikoWrex revealed that Elon Musk has openly acknowledged enhancing his Path of Exile 2 account. During their conversation, NikoWrex shared direct messages exchanged with Musk, where the topic of account boosting came up. When questioned about whether he had ever engaged in level boosting—where someone else plays on your account or purchases in-game items with real money—Musk responded with a 100 emoji, indicating his agreement. He further elaborated that without these methods, it would be “impossible” to compete with players in Asia, suggesting that such practices are commonplace in the gaming community.
In the complete video available at this link, Musk confidently states that he is indeed the one actively participating during his streaming sessions. When a question arose about whether he would extend an apology to the Path of Exile 2 community, he replied with a curious, “What would I be apologizing for?”
Elon Musk’s recent acknowledgment of enhancing his accounts in both Path of Exile 2 and Diablo 4 has validated numerous speculations circulating within the gaming community. However, skepticism has lingered among some gamers regarding Musk’s actual gaming prowess, with prominent figures like Asmongold leading the charge. The well-known Twitch streamer expressed doubt about Musk’s claims from the outset, challenging the billionaire to substantiate his gaming credentials. Asmongold even proposed a unique deal: if Musk could prove his legitimacy as a player, he would commit to streaming exclusively on X for an entire year.
Musk’s Actual Gaming Ability
Despite the skepticism surrounding Elon Musk’s gaming skills, there is at least one person who stands by him: his former partner, the musician Grimes. Recently, she shared on X that she personally observed Musk achieve a remarkable feat in the gaming world, claiming he became the first American druid to conquer the Abattoir of Zir. Additionally, she mentioned that he ranked among the top players in the United States for that particular gaming season, along with other notable gaming accomplishments that he has reportedly achieved.
